Chapter 002, jade carving dragon sculpture
Xiao Ming fell asleep.
In the cave, the silence is faint, the ghost fire is familiar, and you can't see your five fingers. There was a breath of death in the air.
Tomorrow.
"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming......"
"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming......"
A burst of shouts sounded, in the cave, in the darkness, Xiao Ming slowly opened his eyes, he got up, his back against the mountain stone, he lowered his head, quietly looked at his palm, on the back of the palm, but there was a blood-red crescent bend, on which a dragon was carved.
The dragon was entrenched, its teeth were flying, its blood was strong, its eyes were like lanterns, and its scales were like armor.
"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming......"
"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming......"
Bursts of voices rang out, from far to near, and then from near to far.
Xiao Ming stared at the back of his hand, he was a little surprised: What is the situation? Why does my hand have a blood-red crescent bend? What kind of monster is this dragon......?
He also wanted to explore.
But at this moment, a wave of dizziness hit, a strong drowsiness hit, and he fell asleep again.
In the dead silence of the cave, cold water droplets poured from the stalactites, playing the vast earth.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Ming woke up again.
This time, he was mentally prepared to no longer look at the situation on the back of his hand, but crawled out of the cave, but when the sun shone down from outside the cave and reflected on the back of his hand, a fierce pain hit, he hugged his hand and squatted down, and at this time, he was suddenly stunned, opened his hands, and his eyes were full of surprise.
I saw that the crescent moon curve carved in the palm of the hand actually appeared in the palm of the hand.
The ice crystals are crystal clear, and the fluorescent prism is shaped.
The bottom frame, like amber, also like tourmaline, more like crystal, beautiful strings, ice crystal glass, pleasing to the eye, and what makes people expensive is the dragon on the crescent bend, carved lifelike, the structure is vivid.
"Where is this relic?"
Xiao Ming watched tightly.
No one answered him, Xiao Ming grabbed the dragon-shaped jade carving, carefully observed, until the middle of the day, he couldn't peep into the secret, helplessly, he gave up the urge to study, at this time, he was hungry, so he began to look for food in the wild forest.
though he was broken with his father.
But he didn't want to die anymore, he didn't die when he fell into the cave before, which made him strong.
His father is not optimistic about him, so he wants to cultivate and step through the realm of quenching his body!
And big brother, one day, I, Xiao Ming, will prove that I am better than you!
The scorching sun is in the sky, the birds are flying away, and there are no wolves and rabbits in the barren forest.
Xiao Ming searched for a long time, and what surprised him was that the wild forest where birds and cicadas were singing and rabbits and wolves were all over the ground was surprisingly without any breath of life at this moment. Finally, after searching for a long time, on the fruit tree in front of him, Xiao Ming found the crumbling, yellowish, orange-red Danguo hanging on the treetops.
I searched the entire wilderness, and there was only one.
How to fill a stomach?
Xiao Ming was about to devour, but at this moment, a sound sounded. Xiao Ming shouted: "Hare!"
In the next second, he put Danguo into his arms, got out of the ground, and walked like flying.
Crash!
The hare sprang out of the grass, and a few lights and shadows, after a while, had scurried into the long miscellaneous reeds, and in the blink of an eye, they had disappeared. Xiao Ming stopped and cursed, if there is a bow and arrow in hand, tonight will be a crispy hare roast.
"Starving!"
Xiao Ming took out the Danguo from his arms, but found that the Danguo had been broken, and the yellow-orange-orange liquid overflowed out, and what shocked Xiao Ming was that the Danguo, which was originally yellow-orange, had turned into a red Danguo at this moment.
"What's going on, why is this happening?"
Although Xiao Ming was puzzled, he did not hesitate and devoured the Danguo.
Soon, what shocked him was that a mere Danguo actually made him full of poop. Xiao Ming's food is not large, but he is in a quenching state and needs to be replenished with abundant food, usually, he has to eat at least half a wooden barrel of rice and three hares, but today, a small Danguo makes him full.
Xiao Ming froze there.
He was very surprised: "What is the situation? Why does a mere Danguo make me hungry and full?"
Is it Dango's problem?
No way!
Xiao Ming shook his head, because he was eating an ordinary wild fruit, which could not be an elixir spirit fruit.
So what is it for?
Suddenly, Xiao Ming moved.
He touched it into his arms again, and he took out the dragon-shaped jade carving: "Is it because of it? I just put the wild fruit with it, and when I took it out, the wild fruit turned red and crunchy, is it really it?"
Xiao Ming was trying to study it carefully.
But at this time, a cry sounded behind him: "Xiao Ming, you are really here!"
I saw that not far behind him, from the grass, walked out of the grass, the young man was about fourteen years old, fat, red face, but wrapped in silk clothes, wearing jade belts, it was Wu Hao, the young son of the Wu family, a big family in Yunli Town.
When Wu Hao saw Xiao Ming, he smiled excitedly, then ran over, hit Xiao Ming's chest with a heavy fist, and scolded: "You dog-legged, disappeared for a few days, I thought you were dead, you are good, I am your brother, and you don't tell me your whereabouts!"
Xiao Ming held the dragon-shaped jade carving tightly in his hand.
There was a pain in his hand, and the dragon-shaped jade carving had disappeared in the palm of his hand.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing that Xiao Ming didn't speak, Wu Hao was puzzled.
"There is nothing ......" Xiao Ming shook his head, although Wu Hao is his good brother, the two are from different classes, Xiao Ming's father is a hunter, and Wu Hao's father is a dignitary in the town, the two have different identities and different statuses, but it does not prevent the two from becoming good brothers.
"You dog-legged, why did you run away and kill yourself?" Wu Hao asked.
Xiao Ming didn't speak.
Wu Hao smiled, patted Xiao Ming's shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Did you fall out with your family?" Hehe, don't think about it, you must have no money to go to the Dianwu Hall for further study! Hehe, you know my brother, it is a blessing in your life, come, I have already prepared ten taels of gold here! Give ......
Wu Hao took out a rusty brocade bag from his arms with his hands and feet, which was full of gold.
Xiao Ming was a little moved.
Although Wu Hao is a high-ranking official and nobleman, he was born in the upper class, but Wu Hao does not have the arrogance and arrogance of other sons, from childhood to adulthood, the two get together, as long as Wu Hao has it, Xiao Ming will have it. For such a brother, Xiao Ming was very moved.
He pressed Wu Hao's hand and said, "Ten taels of gold, you must have stolen it from your home, I won't take it!"
"What should I do, don't you want to go to the Martial Arts Hall to read?"
Wu Hao was a little anxious.
Xiao Ming smiled indifferently and said, "Dianwutang, I will definitely go." ”
"Then you need money, high cultivation fees, and if you want to step into the Condensation Realm, you will keep quenching your body, and quenching your body requires countless elixirs and holy spring immortal dew, these things need to be purchased with money, Brother Xiao, you should know better than me, anyone who steps into the Condensation Realm is either a talented person, or he is piled up with money!" Wu Hao said excitedly: "Brother Xiao, you have the hope of stepping through the Condensation Realm, I will give you these ten taels of gold!"
"No need!" Xiao Ming shook his head.
"Why?" Wu Hao was anxious: "Do you want to give up?"
"Nope. I, Xiao Ming, will step through the Quenching Body Realm step by step, and then enter the Condensation Realm!" After a pause, Xiao Ming said, "Xiao Hao, let's go." ”
"Where to go?"
"Go to the Holy Capital. ”
............
The capital of China, the holy capital.
In Huaxia Kingdom, the martial arts halls are all concentrated in the Holy Capital, whether it is god-level or D-level, they are all here. Xiao Ming was admitted to the B-level martial arts school, while Wu Hao was D-level.
The two of them came to the Holy Capital from Yunli Town, and it was already ten days later.
There are three days left, and it is the day for the new students of the martial arts schools in the Holy Capital to register.
On the same day, Xiao Ming and Wu Hao settled in an inn where passenger passengers came.
Xiao Ming was resting in the room, and at this time, Wu Hao walked in with a dark face, Xiao Ming hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's no money left. ”
Wu Hao slapped the bill in his hand on the table and scolded: "Damn shopkeeper, knowing that we are here to report, the lion made a big offer, but he only stayed for three days, and he actually charged me a hundred taels of silver! I originally brought ten taels of gold, but along the way, it was all spent, and when the martial arts academy opened, we went to report, and there was no money to pay the entrance fee!"
Xiao Ming frowned.
He asked, "How much do you have left?"
"It's not much, it's only three taels of gold, these three taels are specially left to pay the entrance fee for you, you know, your palace martial arts hall, the entrance fee is very high, and it is also very powerful, these three taels of gold are for you to cultivate!" Wu Hao said.
Xiao Ming's brows furrowed even tighter: "These three taels of gold, leave it to you to cultivate!"
"The martial arts academy I was admitted to is just a D-level, very rubbish, don't go or go, and I don't really want to cultivate, it's a mess if I go, so it's better to let you go. Wu Hao said with a big grin.
Xiao Ming shook his head: "No, I said that everyone will go to practice together!"
"The money is not enough, I can only let you go to cultivation, I am going to come here to do an errand business, and then save some money to pay you to cultivate, you know, if you want to step into the Condensation Realm, in addition to talent, the important thing is the elixir and the immortal spring holy water! So, you need me to provide you with enough funds!" Wu Hao said.
Xiao Ming was a little moved.
Since he was a child, Wu Hao has helped him a lot, whether it is funds or elixir, as long as Wu Hao has it, it will be distributed to Xiao Ming.
Although Wu Hao is the son of a dignitary, Xiao Ming did not feel the so-called arrogance.
But Xiao Ming will not let his brother suffer.
He said, "Xiao Hao, don't worry, let's go to practice together." ”
"But we don't have enough ......"
"Let's go and save enough money together!"
After coming to the Holy Capital, the two brothers were worried about money, Xiao Ming's entrance fee required five taels of gold, Wu Hao needed ten taels, and once he entered the Martial Arts Academy, the next cultivation would constantly need elixir and immortal spring spiritual liquid. Although the Martial Arts Academy would provide a certain amount of elixir every day, this could not satisfy cultivation.
More elixirs and immortal spring holy water need to be traded and purchased at their own expense.
At the beginning, Wu Hao did not inform his family before leaving the town, and when he came here, both of them were strangers, unaccompanied and helpless.
So, the two need a lot of money.
money, let the two of them worry.
Two days passed, and neither of them found any way to get the money.
Wu Hao was even more worried, he wanted to go home to get the money many times, but Xiao Ming refused, although Wu Hao was dissatisfied, he did not refute Xiao Ming. And from beginning to end, Xiao Ming was silent.
In fact, Xiao Ming has been studying the dragon carving jade sculpture in his hand.
I don't know why, suddenly, Xiao Ming moved, he remembered the last time, he used the jade carving dragon sculpture to spiritualize the spirit fruit, an ordinary fruit, after being spiritualized, a simple one can make him full.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming was a little excited: Can I turn the fruit into a spirit and then sell it?
